I rooted to get rid of bloatware and my main reason for AOSP ROM was to get away from sense messed up BT stack (want to use Wii controller), but if this is what I'm up against I will stick with a sense ROM (probably go back with fresh had with my hero and it worked well). is this the norm for ASOP? Ive seen other post about better battery life on sense ROMs. is it just how it handle the system different I already followed this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19474607#post19474607
And couldn't get it working fully. Does anyone have any other suggestion. Different ROMs, kernels, setting I could try as a last shot. Would prefer a basic ASOP with good battery life, and most stuff working (don't know if that's to much to ask).
Thanks in advance.
I don't think that 5 hours of battery life should be considered normal for any ROM. If that is all you get from a phone then something is wrong.
Have you tried wiping battery stats in recovery? Sometimes the software just reads the battery level incorrectly. It would have to be pretty far off to claim you were at 10% after only 5 hours but who knows...
You can google it but the typical process is to charge it up to 100%, wipe battery stats, then reboot and unplug. Drain the phone until it's absolutely dead then you charge it fully again and it should read the battery level more accurately. Apparently it is bad for Lithium Ion batteries to be drained completely though, so it is not recommended to do this often as it can shorten the overall performance of your battery.
I haven't seen much of a difference in my battery life using Cyanogenmod 7 or MikG (currently running 2.58 but 2.60 is out now). I personally really prefer sense ROMs and MikG is definitely the best one I have used. Give it a shot. I have gotten 60 hours of battery life on the stock Sense ROM (granted, it was with almost no use) and over 30 hours with pretty decent usage. I posted some youtube videos to demonstrate this since I figured everyone would claim I doctored photos:
over 50 hours (wound up being 60 hours by the time I finally unplugged):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGJucqVw0RQ
32 hours:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPqtsRDRYEs
I have since moved to MikG but I pushed my battery again last weekend and got another 30+ hours of it. I'm extremely happy with my battery life!
I am sticking with MikG over CM7...I have too many issues with CM7 and there just isn't enough to keep me there. I was going to write up a huge post about that now.
yea i actually did wipe that stats. Ill probably just do a full wipe and start fresh with sense rom and see where it goes. What are some advantages of mikG any features that make it special over others? What version of sense does it have? Im downloading right now. is there a info page of what all it includes? i couldn't find much info for it.

Im in the same boat some what, but I will say your time should be better with no use. Im not getting huge battery increases with aosp roms when using the phone. Im better off with the stuff that worked well on sense roms for me with no tinkering (gps, slow sd speeds, updating prls, etc)
Im convinced the people that claim these lengthy phone hours dont use their phone besides texting much even if they say otherwise. Most screen shots I see rarely even have voice calls registering. I think the best way for "me" to get a full day is to buy an extended battery. Im not on wifi all day, Im in and out of low signal areas. I need to keep data on due to emails for work. Maybe Ill run into a miracle rom and kernel, lol
I do like the classic rom which I backed up and I will try some others today (fusion/hyrbid ex1)

I totally agree with you with is why if you watch my second video posted above, I actually go into the usage screen and tap on the things to show what I am using. 50 minutes of voice calls, 25 minutes of words with friends, 41 minutes of GPS, Bluetooth on 100% of the time, etc.
But typically when I see those you tube videos I see people saying they were using their phone heavily and got 25 hours out of it. If you look closely in their battery stats screen though, you'll see that cell standby was the top battery user. That refutes the heavy usage claim right there!

I put FreshEvo and it looks like battery is holding up well. I got MikG tp play around with..(it does look beautiful). A few quick question about it.
1. Does it have the native hotspot app unlocked or just wireless tether?
2. Has CarrierID been removed or disabled?
3. Should I use the default kernel in the rom, or is there a particular one you use.

2. I don't even know what you're asking here sorry. Do you mean you want to use it on another carrier besides Sprint? If so I have no idea...maybe post your question on themikmik forums.
3. I use whatever kernel MikG comes with. Some people like to flash other ones, but I have never messed with new kernels, regardless of the ROM I'm using.

Great! I have found MikG to be awesome so I'm glad it works for you too. If you want to upload a screenshot then tap the power button and quickly hit home. It should take a screenshot. Then if you want to share it you can go the gallery app and tap the share icon (circle with 2 arrows). If you want to attach it to a post here from your phone (xda app) then start a message and then tap the more button. You should be able to attach something from the gallery.
I just posted pretty much the same info at themikmik.com but it was more detailed. I'm on my phone right now but I'll go copy that link and paste it into an edit here.

Senseless MikG 2.9 has gotten me over 2 days of moderate usage consistently. This however does not include 4G since I can't get a signal anywhere >_<
I use CM7.1 + SavagedZen (latest) SBC (BFS) and get between 40 and 60 hours depending on usage.
I am also using the Sprint extended battery, however. By my estimation, this accounts for roughly 8 - 10 of those hours.
The kernel made a HUGE difference. Tiamat 3.3.7 was only getting me about 20 hours tops.
Phone is also undervolted, and supercharged. No overclocking or underclocking. I am incredibly pleased with this phone - definitely can't switch phones unless I know that I can get something remotely close in terms of battery life!

Hello everbody,
I want install a new custom rom on my device with low battery drain. I now have F1 Innovation V13 and when I do something the battery is in a few hours empty.
Which other custom rom can I use with low battery drain and 14 toggle.
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
It all comes down to what are you doing on your phone. If for example you're using it intensely to play games, the battery will discharge in few hours. Wifi and 3G enabled also drain battery. But if your battery drops down to zero after few hours of low-medium use there's definitely something wrong. Best battery life can be observed on stock software. I recommend flashing base JVT, then rooting the phone with chainfire's CF-root kernel (it's as close to stock as it gets) and after that installing stock+ add-on by $omator (everything you need to make your phonerun without FC, be rock stable and smooth as butter) .

1 to 1.5 day of battery life with 3g turned on depending of phone usage. Remember to always calibrate your battery after changing the rom. Unfortunately almost every smartphone has poor battery life and SGS is among them. If 3g and sync isn't important try switching those off, and turn them on only if need be. Also set your screen to automatic brightness, because the display at high brightness drains A LOT of your battery.

Darky's is a good option. I did use it for a long time. Always about 10 till 14 hours depending on the usage.
Now for a week i am using mintberry. It seems i get a better batterylife with this rom. But than again it all had to do with how much u use youre smartphone. In my opinion people who say it last for days don't use their phone
I also agree that Darky's has pretty good battery life. A lot of people complain about CM7's battery life but in my experience it wasn't so bad either.
Im on Galaxy Droid and it looks really nice battery life is really good and the theme is SO NICE

Im getting good battery life and stability in Darkys 10.2.2
Steps
1. Backup your data from internal SDCARD and then format it.
2. Make sure that your SGS is 100% charged (make sure after removing the power connection)
3. Flash your SGS with Darkys 10.2 RE
4. After rebooting copy 10.2.2 zip file into SDCARD
5. Charge you SGS 100%
6. Boot into recovery.
7. Wipe (Data/Factory Reset, cahe, dalvik cache)
8. Install Darky 10.2.2
11. Enjoy!!!
* Dont try to restore the backup Apps. Better to do fresh installation.
* You can install Darky10.2.2 either one of the method CWM Recovery or Darky ROM tool or Darky OTA
I had sticked with GB from day 1. Only a minor OTA update to 2.3.6. Four days ago I saw that there were a new ICS update for my French GNote. I said "what the hell!" and done with the update. Now I am getting 7-8 hours instead of 12-13 hours, and the phone is getting warmer now.
same old story.
ics gives more performance, but drains more battery.
I improve my situation with a change of kernel (speedmod)
There is a deep sleep issue well documented on ICS 4.0.3 for Note. If you install cpu spy you can see that when the screen is off your device is still running at 200MHz thus eating up the battery.
I've had my phone go dead after 3.5 hrs of use. Hopefully 4.0.4. resolves this issue
The poster who said that ICS just eats up more battery is wrong. There is a legitimate bug preventing the phone from deep sleep.
There is a trick where you can enable airplane mode, power device off, pull battery, insert battery back in, power on device and the deep sleep bug is gone, that is until you charge your phone again.
Hope this helps there are many threads about this.
If you are comfortable, flash a custom kernel or ROM. Also, get BetterBatteryStats and look for wakelocks.
I found ICS does drain more battery - though on my Note it wasn't anywhere near drastic as yours, maybe 5-10% more. I never ran into a deep sleep issue on 4.0.3 myself.
As for phone getting warmer, check to make sure you don't have an application running that is using a lot of CPU time. I found that for me, an older version of the Facebook app would occasionally get "stuck" and really use up the CPU, making the phone very warm - and running battery down.
As King Meda mentioned, a new kernel can make a big difference. After switching to the Speedmod kernel, I'm getting much better battery life, a few extra hours a day in my case.
Yes ICS gives smoother interface at the cost of battery life. I do not mean deep sleep bug. Even without that bug, ICS in general consumes 10 to 20% more battery when screen is on.

4.0.3 certainly had worse battery life, as I couldn't even get my device to enter "deep sleep". But, personally, 4.0.4 lasts me through the day - if not a bit longer - and I am happy.

With 4.0.4 I'm more or less back where I was with GB, 1,5-2,5% drain per hour under normal use.
4.0.3 was a horror story for me due to the deep sleep (l2_hsic wake lock) problem.

Agree !!!
But 4.0.4 is good. Smooth, and stable.
I've no idea about the stockROM 4.0.4. I use customROM for 4.0.4, and it really suit my needs and my device.
Battery drains, normally due to :
*) application running in background, which requires high resources of CPU.
*) device doesn't go to proper deep sleep, when you are not using it, due to those background application, and due to some tweaks on the use kernel.
Because of the application in background, and can't go to deep sleep, you will feel that your device is heaty, and sometimes is very hot.
Once your device go hot, normally the battery will drain faster.
When this is happen, means it is time for you to check which application make your device do exercise too muach, or means it is time for you to re-flash your device.
So far, I never use stockROM at all for my device, and never use stock kernel as well. So the stock performance, is beyond my imagination.
So, peare, for your reference, you may try "speedmod" or "notecore" for your kernel. These 2 kernels have been reported as a safe kernel for ICS, and also reported as a good ICS kernel to maintain battery usage, so it won't drain so fast.
as for ROM, you may choose yourself. you can browse around at N7000 Android development, and find the ROM that you like.
You can also try the ROM I'm using now = CriskeloROM.
This ROM is very good to my device. I combine it with speedmod. So far so good.
No heaty device, and no lagging, very smooth, and battery last well (around 20+ hours).

Try using speed mod kernel. Your battery life will be like 16-18hrs. I had same issue with ICS but am happy now.

*) device doesn't go to proper deep sleep, when you are not using it, due to those background application, and due to some tweaks on the use kernel.
Because of the application in background, and can't go to deep sleep, you will feel that your device is heaty, and sometimes is very hot.
Once your device go hot, normally the battery will drain faster.
When this is happen, means it is time for you to check which application make your device do exercise too muach, or means it is time for you to re-flash your device.
So far, I never use stockROM at all for my device, and never use stock kernel as well. So the stock performance, is beyond my imagination.
So, peare, for your reference, you may try "speedmod" or "notecore" for your kernel. These 2 kernels have been reported as a safe kernel for ICS, and also reported as a good ICS kernel to maintain battery usage, so it won't drain so fast.
as for ROM, you may choose yourself. you can browse around at N7000 Android development, and find the ROM that you like.
You can also try the ROM I'm using now = CriskeloROM.
This ROM is very good to my device. I combine it with speedmod. So far so good.
No heaty device, and no lagging, very smooth, and battery last well (around 20+ hours).

I'm assuming this is the stock ROM with a potential eMMC bug the OP is talking about? I am using CM9 stable and deep sleep has no issues.
But I do feel Galaxy Note was more stable with a GB ROM and I used a slimrom called CassiesXtraLite.

I had sticked with GB from day 1. Only a minor OTA update to 2.3.6. Four days ago I saw that there were a new ICS update for my French GNote. I said "what the hell!" and done with the update. Now I am getting 7-8 hours instead of 12-13 hours, and the phone is getting warmer now.

Coming from Playbook and old user of SGS the battery life is not good at all down 40% with 2.3 hours of internet any thoughts or is it 4.4.2 ?
Custom kernel ?
What does Battery Use say? You might have something else running.
You wouldn't happen to be viewing Flash, would you? I tried that once on CBS' site, and the resulting software rendering was a huge battery drain.
Are those Battery Saving Apps worth or just another drainer ? Don't see anything drastic in usage as its used by OS.

A lot of people (including me) are very satisfied with battery performance. Just so you know, you need a few charges to get a full potential from the battery.

I've had some issues since 4.4.2 too, and I'm no newbie to Android. I was disabling location in the quick settings and found that whenever I did that Google Search would keep the phone from sleeping. Please update with anything you find is causing your battery problem. As mentioned, these devices can give good battery life!
I don't play games on mine but I get between 10 and 13 hours screen on time every charge. Most of my time is on the internet with 3 emails syncing every 30 minutes and WiFi on all the time. I charge it every second night.
Rooting and installing a new custom ROM will help with battery life. I noticed on 4.3, the media server bug was present. I had to disable the media server scan. That helped a ton with battery. For 4.4.2 i use purity ROM. In on 2 days one charge with 49% left. You need to charge the battery a few times also as mentioned

Thanks but does this ROM enhances battery life or worsens ? Also what do you mean by Linaro ? Should i go 4.4.2 or 4.2 as per there post ?
4.4 2 introduced a bunch of security enhancements in light of NSA revelations. I cannot say how much better this ROM is compared to current stock because I haven't used stock for some time. That said, the dev is a very talented one and the rom is popular in a way a battery sucker wouldn't be. The rom contains enhancements over the stock version such as proprietary bionic/dalvic enhancements from Qualcomm that Google couldn't legally include, due to licence issues.
The main factor is in the kernel and the options it gives you. You can disable things like S2W, DT2W, magnet wake thingy, etc. You can also specify the maximum processing power when your Nexus' screen is off/on. Etc, etc.
At a certain point you're just going to have to see for yourself. The fact is that you don't like your current battery performance, so maybe just take the dive and try for yourself?
I will say your questions have been asked and answered a million times before. My earlier reply was the best I could do for you, my friend. For my part, I'm afraid you're going to have to do what everyone before you has done in order to learn more: ask Google before asking anybody else.
For example, regarding your Linaro question:
Try searching 'Android Linaro'
Question about bionic or dalvic? Try the same thing, maybe you'll have to adjust your search to include 'Qualcomm' (the brand of processor in our device).
If it's frustrating not having all the answers at your fingertips then celebrate! It's that frustration that will motivate you to find your answers.
For now, though, maybe start reading up on the links I gave you. There are ways to return to stock if you feel you need to (you'll also need to do your own reading on that).

Arguably, all the business of unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc. is probably easier on Nexus devices than it is or has been on 99% of contemporary or former Android devices. So, you're in pretty good shape off the bat=)

The kernel is the most important when it comes to battery life because it Controls cpu and kernel and io operations.
I recommend using elementalx kernel because it has deepsleep state which will allow your device to save the most battery when you're not using it. I'm sure there are others but that's what I use.
The largest battery drain during use is the screen, so keep your screen at a minimum whenever you are using it if you're concerned about battery.
Another thing you can do to improve battery is undervolt. However you will only experience minimal benefit because you can only undervolt so much before your device is unstable. I don't recommend undervolting for newbies.
Another thing that can improve battery life is multicore power saving, a setting that is enabled with a custom kernel such as elementalx.
Another thing that I've heard that CAN help battery life is using Art, instead of dalvik cache. This is highly debatable, but some have reported improved battery life. I use art but mostly for the improved performance and load times, rather than the battery life.
Of course you should turn off anything you don't use, blue tooth, nfc, GPS, etc.. To help better manage this automatically you can use an app called profile scheduler.
-Wizzle
Wizzle, I've heard ART isn't stable with apps that haven't been retrofitted to ruin with it. Is that your experience?
---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------
Incidentally, there's a new 'Glitch' kernel released today. Just checked and it also goes into deep sleep. You may want to check it out... it, too, uses the Aroma installer and seems to offer a few more degrees of customization. Just make sure you snag the right one as there are a few different builds depending on your rom source.
Which rom do you use?
I have installed the .AOSP Kangs][DJL4.4] ROM last night due to some reason some apps are closing on it. Will try out the new kernel.
Yeah, I have the same ROM and have used both ElementalX & now the latest Glitch kernel. Odd you're having force close issues, tho. Pretty sure that isn't something many others are experiencing. Do you run other mods? Is SuperSU working okay?

I'm on cm11. I've tried glitch, but not the latest. Most of the customizations glitch offers is basically more overclocking and undercoating, I prefer stock values for stability, I've over clocked before just to see how fast I could actually get my Nexus to work, but of course you don't get the best battery life..
I've had 100% success with art. It has not been unstable one bit. It's definitely faster and I don't have to overclock which saves battery.
One word of caution! If you sideload apps, sometimes they will no longer install once you enable art. Oddly enough if they were installed before art was enabled, it works fine! (hehe at least that's my experience)
Another word of caution, once I've enabled art, I was not able to go back to dalvik unless I deleted all my data and reinstalled apps from scratch.. I recommend doing a nandroid backup before you enable art, just so you have data that is dalvik..

My battery life is like what most people are saying, over 10 hours of use doing various things... other than 3D games with hour+ play sessions. Basically if I'm playing something like GTAIII or Final Fantasy III, battery life will go down considerably faster, but not devastatingly so, probably like 50% faster, and only while playing.
Here are some things that will dramatically help your battery life, assuming it isn't defective or something:
Having the brightness on auto or generally very low will help a lot. If you look at battery usage in Settings, you'll see that the screen usually eats more than half of your battery at all times.
Keeping GPS/Bluetooth/Wifi off when they aren't needed.
Closing background apps.
Turning the screen time-out down, which can be found at Settings>Display>Sleep. The Nexus 7 '13 has a pretty average battery, but one of its best qualities is how it barely loses any power when it's on standby.
Don't use live wallpapers or turn their quality settings down.
I'm using CleanROM which is just a stable, prerooted, more optimized stock AOSP rom and keeps up to date very quickly. My battery/performance is loads better than it was on stock. I couldn't recommend the rom more, especially after installing Xposed Framework and the GravityBox module, which allows you to to have many CM/PA features without much effort.
I get 10+ hours with WiFi and location on all the time. I do keep the brightness down a bit. If you're getting half that, something is wrong.

Hi folks!
I just wanted to share my experience:
After a long time I didn't use my tab pro8.4 because of its very low battery life, I tried it again but with cyanogenmod 12 and what... No bugs, very smooth and the battery life is so damn impressive!!
Two hours of Netflix streaming in WiFi with maximum brightness and I still have 60% battery left. Awesome.
I've been looking for a battery sparing ROM. Thanks for reporting, will consider it.
You guys should try cm 13 ROM. I've always had great battery life over stock. Recently replaced my battery as well and it's awesome now. Little thing I found to increase stand by time is to set Wi-Fi to turn off when the tablet isn't being used, stand by time is unreal.

I'm continuously looking for better battery ROMs, so thanks for that suggestion.
Do you happen to have any better battery logging, like with 3c battery widget? That way mAh is actually logged.
I first tried SlimROM6, which gave horrendous battery life, -100-150mAh. I also had an odd landscape orientation bug, where the UI wasn't accessible if booted in landscape, so I ditched that one.
I'm on this (CM12) one, and it's better. But battery usage is -50-90mAh, so only can get 2 days or so.
On stock 4.4.2, I was probably getting 3-4 days usage.
Which CM13 build are you using btw? Looks like last nightly was 12.19.2016, with no stable/milestones ever released. No download links are available anymore. Can you put one up?
Also reading the CM13 forum, looks like wifi drain was an issue, that may have been drastically improved by the wifi-off screen-off suggestion. Maybe I'll try that too.
Also wondering if the gapps I installed might play a role. ? installing unnecessary framework, etc. causing excess drain. I tried to install the minimum necessary, but I should recheck.
